Born with immortal seed

Chapter 868 A Finger from Beyond the Heavens

"The Yin-Yang Eyes of the Candle Dragon pierce through illusions and penetrate directly to the source. Among all the spiritual eyes I have ever seen, they are second to none, and even in the Earthly Immortal Realm, few can compare..."

This eye technique can enhance its power by borrowing the aura of sacred beasts. In Bai Zichen's hands, it has repeatedly performed miraculous feats and solved many mysteries.

However, nothing in this world is perfect. When faced with an existence whose essence far surpasses his own, the straightforward pupil technique of Zhulong Yin Yang Pupil put him in danger.

It was as if they had crossed layers of void and directly touched the true body of the Great Sun God, and were cleansed by the Great Dao contained within it.

If Bai Zichen hadn't also been extraordinary, there would have been one more Void Refiner in the Azure Sea Heaven who suffered because of the Great Sun God.

Golden flames spread, the temperature rose, and large piles of fish and shrimp floated to the surface, emitting the aroma of roasted meat.

"The only giants that can dwell on the sun and stars, apart from the avatars of Nascent Soul cultivators who have completely mastered the Dao of Fire, are those innate beings born with fire... Their true strength will not exceed the peak of the Void Refinement stage, because their essence is special, which is why they can achieve feats that even Nascent Soul cultivators can only marvel at."

One awakening had an impact that spread throughout the entire blue sky and even beyond.

Having accomplished such an illogical feat, Bai Zichen had only a few guesses left in his mind.

As that majestic figure slowly rose, the flames pushed outwards, scattering across the sea.

A fiery rain fell from the sky, stretching into thin, golden threads as it fell, like crimson necklaces draped down by celestial beings.

The next moment, the golden thread struck the cloud boat's array barrier, exploding into millions of burning golden lotuses.

The light screen was burned with honeycomb-like holes and was visibly thinning.

However, with the recovery ability of the sixth-order formation and the backing of a massive amount of immortal crystals, it was instantly replenished.

"His body transformed into the great sun, the supreme being in fire... He is the legendary Great Sun God!"

Without using the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes, Bai Zichen walked out of the cabin with a normal expression and confidently gave the correct answer.

Since they chose to travel through the Azure Sea Heaven to the Six Blessings Immortal Realm, how could they not find out the origins of this world?

I never expected that the Great Sun God-King could awaken after being dead for so long.

The mere thought of converging upon His mangled body is enough to make all living beings in the world tremble and prostrate themselves before Him.

Just as he was preparing to treat this as a serendipitous encounter and observe the situation, something in the Shaohua Cave Heaven stirred and became scalding hot.

"Is it that scroll?"

Bai Zichen pulled out the long-forgotten Ghost and God Rank Chart, and all the names of the immortals and gods from the top to the bottom lit up.

The fire gods, in particular, emitted such light and heat that even he had to look away, and he even revealed a hint of greed for the figure in the sky.

These were just a few names and portraits, but now they seemed like clawing little men, trying to devour the lingering remnants of the Great Sun God.

If it weren't for a strong hand firmly gripping the scroll, the Map of Deities and Gods would have long since flown into the sky and drifted towards the great sun.

When Bai Zichen was in the lower realm, after he had completely established his reputation as the invincible Sword Lord of Time, he gave instructions to someone to collect and complete the stories behind the doubts he had kept buried in his heart for many years.

However, the Ghost and God Position Chart is an exception. It seems to have never appeared in the history of the cultivation world, and no sect has ever recorded such a rare treasure.

Although the Xuanzhou's Invocation Chart for Gods is exactly the same as the Ghost and Gods Chart in terms of the order of immortals and gods, it is far from having the ability to communicate with immortals and gods and directly bestow enlightenment on the Great Dao.

This scroll, in Bai Zichen's hands, can not only be deciphered by him, but also bestow opportunities upon others.

For example, when Ge Cang was trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, he relied on the Ghost God Position and Karma Diagram to help him communicate with the Thunder God, thus gaining a great boost.

Such a rare treasure, once it has appeared in the world, could not possibly leave no trace.

It's like something that's been refined and placed there, waiting for him to obtain and use it; no one else has the chance to activate it.

"It was probably brought down from the Immortal Realm. I wonder what its connection is with the fallen innate deities, which caused the scroll to tremble..."

The people on the cloud boat were clearly not experiencing the awakening of the Great Sun God for the first time, and they had proper ways to deal with it, showing no signs of panic.

Aside from a few unlucky cultivators who were initially aroused and burned themselves to ashes, the rest of them managed to save their lives without incident.

"Fellow Daoist Bai's cultivation is indeed superb, able to disregard the Great Sun Divine Lord's ferocious flames as nothing..."

Zhu Shouzhou arrived together with the white-haired old man. The semi-circular bronze array plate rotated back and forth, casting a soft blue light.

"Senior Brother Qi and I are preparing to approach the Great Sun to collect a few wisps of the Sun God's Flame. I wonder if you would be interested in joining us?"

The awakening of the Great Sun God is a catastrophe for over 99% of cultivators, but a tremendous opportunity for a very few.

The lineage of Elder Song follows the path of harmonizing Yin and Yang, and has an urgent need for spiritual objects that are extremely Yin and extremely Yang.

It's not just about improving combat power; the key aspect involves deepening one's path in the future and advancing in an alternating manner.

If they could receive a few wisps of the Sun God's Flame, it would indirectly save them decades of cultivation.

If one possesses the divine blood of the Great Sun God, it is almost equivalent to pushing open half of the door to fusion.

Once a matching extremely yin and cold spiritual object of the same level is found, the Immortal Ladder can be completely crossed.

Therefore, Zhu Shouzhou and his companion would never let this opportunity slip by.

The two couldn't bear to leave the exceptionally powerful Bai Yuchan on the cloud boat, so they decided to invite each other to go together.

"Well, it's rare to witness such a spectacular sight. I'm about to get closer to observe it... I also have some questions I'd like to ask you both."

Bai Zichen's curiosity was piqued by the Ghost and God Position Diagram, so he took the opportunity to inquire about the changes of the Great Sun.

Just as he had predicted, it was indeed the legendary Great Sun God Lord awakening.

Each time, the shadows would last for several days before quieting down, and they only appeared once every hundred years.

In the beginning, the Great Sun God had only been awake for one day.

Over tens of thousands of years, it has risen to three days.

If things continue like this, who knows if one day we will see the living Great Sun God descend upon the Azure Sea Heaven?

The higher they flew, the denser the rain of fire became, with golden threads tearing through the void and flames of all colors darting in and out.

Only when you reach a great height can you see clearly the entire process of the golden flames falling from the sun, accompanied by colorful streamers, transforming into various flames and crashing onto the sea.

Trying to capture the sun god's flames is like trying to snatch chestnuts from a fire—extremely dangerous.

You could see that the golden flames distorted the air, making even a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage feel uneasy.

As we get closer to the Great Sun God, we must be even more wary of flames that may rise from within and without.

However, Zhu Shouzhou and his fellow disciples were clearly well-prepared, carrying one fire-repelling magic weapon after another.

At the same time, he used his divine powers to manipulate the violent golden flames into the jar.

"I can collect some of them. Once my Heart Refining Technique advances further, I can use them to forge the sixth-tier Great Sun Heavenly Furnace Sword..."

Bai Zichen stopped and watched for a while, understood the key to it, and tried to collect it himself.

With the completion of the eighth immortal bone, the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique has reached a new level.

If he hadn't used the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes to stare directly at the sun, he would never have been in such a sorry state with the power of the Sun's Copper Bones.

Therefore, even without a corresponding fire-controlling magic weapon, he still dared to give it a try.

As it turns out, without the influence of the Great Sun God Lord's Dao, the Sun God Flame alone could not harm Bai Zichen at all.

Several sword lights moved nimbly, quickly encircling a wisp of solar divine flame and managing to bring it into the cave.

With a little refining, it added a touch of light to the cave.

Following this trend, if thousands of threads could gather, it's quite possible that a great sun could indeed be formed.

Only when the grotto-heaven and the real world are like each other, with the sun and moon rising and setting, and the seasons turning, can it truly be considered perfect.

Unbeknownst to him, he had grown some distance from Zhu Shouzhuo and the others. Bai Zichen's heart stirred, and he saw a finger descending from the sky.

The lines on this finger are clearly defined, like a giant pillar supporting the sky, pointing to the heavens and touching the earth.

At the same time, dark golden flames accompanied the intense heat, burning out cracks in the void that instantly vaporized towards the sea surface.

"The Great Sun God-King can take the initiative to attack?"

Under the firelight, Bai Zichen's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he once again activated the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Pupil.

This point clearly indicated the Void Refinement level, yet it made him feel the threat of death, regardless of the negative effects of the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes.

Let's first see through the mystery behind this finger and find a way to break it.

According to the white-haired old man, the Great Sun God Lord only acted violently unconsciously each time he woke up, and never took the initiative to attack outsiders.

This is the source of their confidence to soar into the sky; otherwise, who would dare to directly confront the power of the innate deities?

Even though he has been dead for millions of years, only a trace of regret remains.

With the dual blessing of the true meaning of time and the aura of the sacred beast, his eyes became terrifyingly deep and chaotic, no longer a simple distinction between black and white.

Time stands still in the depths of the pupils; there is no emptiness, no beginning or end, no top or bottom—these eyes are beyond description.

It seemed as if an extremely ancient and ancient, powerful being had opened its eyes.

The Way arises in the left hand, and perishes in the right.

The two completely opposite sword lights, under the fusion of the true meaning of time, maintained an astonishing stability.

In the blink of an eye, he met the giant pillar's fingers.

Dark gold flames can melt everything, transcending the concept of high temperature; given enough time, even a sixth-order flying sword cannot be melted.

However, the flames suddenly rose several times higher due to the vigorous growth of the Dao Sheng.

It was further diminished by the annihilation of the Dao and shrank rapidly.

In places invisible to the naked eye, countless layers of sword intent change within the life-and-death sword light, undergoing transformation and annihilation.

The solar flames were divided into the smallest possible forms by the sword light, the gold so faint as to spread out like a fine net.

The giant pillars collapsed layer by layer, but the finger was more than ten thousand feet long, so this damage was too insignificant compared to the whole.

Feeling the unparalleled power transmitted through his fingers, Bai Zichen felt a chill run through his heart.

The power level displayed by the remnant spirit of the awakened Great Sun God was only at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, but its range and terrifying nature far exceeded what a Void Refinement stage could achieve.

Even a typical combination cannot achieve this.

"I can hold out for three more breaths at most. If I can't break through your fingers, I'll hide in the River of Time to avoid your wrath..."

With a crack, just as Bai Zichen was about to retreat, the giant pillar on his fingertips was covered with cracks.

Before it even hit the ground, it had already turned into ashes, a thousand times faster than the two sword lights of life and death.

The aura belonging to the Great Sun God Lord rapidly declined, and in an incomprehensible state, it once again entered a deep slumber.

Without a sound, the sky filled with golden flames, and the giant finger supporting the sky seemed to have become an illusion, as if it had never appeared.
